THIS  EDITION 

IS   AFFECTIONATELY   INSCRIBED    TO 

THE  MEMORY  OF  THE  LATE  ASSISTANT  EDITOR, 

REZIN  A.  WIGHT. 


PREFACE. 


"  Out  of  the  old  fieldes  cometh  al  this  new  come  fro  yere  to  yere," 
And  out  of  the  fresh  woodes  cometh  al  these  new  flowres  here. 


The  small  thin  volume,  the  first  to  bear  the  title  of 
this  collection,  after  passing  through  eight  editions, 
each  enlarged,  now  culminates  in  its  ninth,  —  and  with 
it,  closes  its  tentative  life. 

This  extract  from  the  Preface  of  the  fourth  edition 
is  applicable  to  the  present  one :  — 

"  It  is  not  easy  to  determine  in  all  cases  the  degree 
of  familiarity  that  may  belong  to  phrases  and  sentences 
which  present  themselves  for  admission;  for  what  is 
familiar  to  one  class  of  readers  may  be  quite  new  to 
another.  Many  maxims  of  the  most  famous  writers  of 
our  language,  and  numberless  curious  and  happy  turns 
from  orators  and  poets,  have  knocked  at  the  door,  and 
it  was  hard  to  deny  them.  But  to  admit  these  simply 
on  their  own  merits,  without  assurance  that  the  general 
reader  would  readily  recognize  them  as  old  friends,  was 
aside  from  the  purpose  of  this  collection.  Still,  it  has 
been  thought  better  to  incur  the  risk  of  erring  on  the 
side  of  fulness." 

With  the  many  additions  to  the  English  writers,  the 
present  edition  contains  selections  from  the  French,  and 
from  the  wit  and  wisdom  of  the  ancients.  A  few  pas- 
sages have  been  admitted  without  a  claim  to  familiarity, 
but  solely  on  the  ground  of  coincidence  of  thought. 


Vi  PREFACE. 

I  am  under  great  obligations  to  M.  H.  Morgan, 
Ph.D.,  of  Harvard  University,  for  the  translation  of 
Marcus  Aurelius,  and  for  the  translation  and  selections 
from  the  Greek  tragic  writers.  I  am  indebted  to  the 
kindness  of  Mr.  Daniel  W.  Wilder,  of  Kansas,  for  the 
quotations  from  Pilpay,  with  contributions  from  Dio- 
genes Laertius,  Montaigne,  Burton,  and  Pope's  Homer ; 
to  Dr.  WILLLA.M  J.  EoLFE  for  quotations  from  Eobert 
Browning ;  to  Mr.  James  W.  McIntyre  for  quotations 
from  Coleridge,  Shelley,  Keats,  Mrs.  Browning,  Eobert 
Browning,  and  Tennyson.  And  I  have  incurred  other 
obligations  to  friends  for  here  a  little  and  there  a  little. 

It  gives  me  pleasure  to  acknowledge  the  great  as- 
sistance I  have  received  from  Mr.  A.  W.  Stevens,  the 
accomplished  reader  of  the  University  Press,  as  this 
work  was  passing  through  the  press. 

In  withdrawing  from  this  very  agreeable  pursuit,  I 
beg  to  offer  my  sincere  thanks  to  all  who  have  assisted 
me  either  in  the  way  of  suggestions  or  by  contributions ; 
and  especially  to  those  lovers  of  this  subsidiary  litera- 
ture for  their  kind  appreciation  of  former  editions. 

Accepted  by  scholars  as  an  authoritative  book  of 
reference,  it  has  grown  with  its  growth  in  public  esti- 
mation with  each  reissue.  Of  the  last  two  editions 
forty  thousand  copies  were  printed,  apart  from  the 
English  reprints.  The  present  enlargement  of  text 
equals  three  hundred  and  fifty  pages  of  the  previous 
edition,  and  the  index  is  increased  with  upwards  of 
ten  thousand  lines.

brigi,  circa  1510 ;  in  Butler,  part  i.  canto  i.  line  490.  Archbishop  Trench  says 
this  proverb  is  certainly  as  old  as  Jerome  of  the  fourth  century,  who,  when 
some  found  fault  with  certain  writings  of  his,  replied  that  they  were  free-will 
offerings,  and  that  it  did  not  behove  to  look  a  gift  horse  in  the  mouth.

2  The  origin  of  the  word  "sleveless,"  in  the  sense  of  unprofitable,  has 
defied  the  most  careful  research.  It  is  frequently  found  allied  to  other 
substantives.  Bishop  Hall  speaks  of  the  "sleveless  tale  of  transubstanti- 
ation,"  and  Milton  Mrrites  of  a  "sleveless  reason."  Chaucer  uses  it  in  the

Cupid  and  my  Campaspe  play'd 

At  cards  for  kisses :  Cupid  paid. 

He  stakes  his  quiver,  bow,  and  arrows. 

His  mother's  doves,  and  team  of  sparrows : 

Loses  them  too.     Then  down  he  throws 

The  coral  of  his  lip,  the  rose 

Growing  on  's  cheek  (but  none  knows  how)  ; 

With  these,  the  crystal  of  his  brow, 

And  then  the  dimple  on  his  chin : 

All  these  did  my  Campaspe  win. 

At  last  he  set  her  both  his  eyes  : 

She  won,  and  Cupid  blind  did  rise.

The  lunatic,  the  lover,  and  the  poet

Sees  Helen's  beauty  in  a  brow  of  Egypt : 

The  poet's  eye,  in  a  fine  frenzy  rolling. 

Doth  glance  from  heaven  to  earth,  from  earth  to  heaven  j 

And  as  imagination  bodies  forth 

The  forms  of  things  imknown,  the  poet's  pen 

Turns  them  to  shapeSj  and  gives  to  airy  nothing 

A  local  habitation  and  a  name.

The  quality  of  mercy  is  not  strain'd, 

It  droppeth  as  the  gentle  rain  from  heaven 

Upon  the  place  beneath.     It  is  twice  blest : 

It  blesseth  him  that  gives  and  him  that  takes. 

'T  is  mightiest  in  the  mightiest :  it  becomes 

The  throned  monarch  better  than  his  crown ; 

His  sceptre  shows  the  force  of  temporal  power, 

The  attribute  to  awe  and  majesty, 

Wherein  doth  sit  the  dread  and  fear  of  kings ; 

But  mercy  is  above  this  sceptred  sway. 

It  is  enthroned  in  the  hearts  of  kings. 

It  is  an  attribute  to  God  himself ; 

And  earthly  power  doth  then  show  likest  God's,

Though  justice  be  thy  plea,  consider  this,

Still  quiring  to  the  young-eyed  cherubins.

Mewling  and  puking  in  the  nurse's  arms.

And  shining  morning  face,  creeping  like  snail 
Unwillingly  to  school.     And  then  the  lover. 
Sighing  like  furnace,  with  a  woful  ballad 
Made  to  his  mistress'  eyebrow.     Then  a  soldier, 
Full  of  strange  oaths  and  bearded  like  the  pard ; 
Jealous  in  honour,  sudden  and  quick  in  quarrel, 
Seeking  the  bubble  reputation 

Even  in  the  cannon's  mouth.     And  then  the  justice, 
In  fair  round  belly  with  good  capon  lined. 
With  eyes  severe  and  beard  of  formal  cut, 
Full  of  wise  saws  and  modern  instances  ; 
And  so  he  plays  his  part.     The  sixth  age  shifts 
Into  the  lean  and  slipper'd  pantaloon. 
With  spectacles  on  nose  and  pouch  on  side ; 
His  youthful  hose,  well  saved,  a  world  too  wide 
For  his  shrunk  shank ;  and  his  big  manly  voice, 
Turning  again  toward  childish  treble,  pipes 
And  whistles  in  his  sound.     Last  scene  of  all, 
That  ends  this  strange  eventful  history. 
Is  second  childishness  and  mere  oblivion. 
Sans  teeth,  sans  eyes,  sans  taste,  sans  everything.       jhid.

And  then  to  breakfast  with

I  have  touched  the  highest  point  of  all  my  greatness  j 

And  from  that  full  meridian  of  my  glory 

I  haste  now  to  my  setting  :  I  shall  fall 

Like  a  bright  exhalation  in  the  evening, 

And  no  man  see  me  more.  jud. 

Press  not  a  falling  man  too  far  !  jbid. 

Farewell !  a  long  farewell,  to  all  my  greatness ! 

This  is  the  state  of  man :  to-day  he  puts  forth 

The  tender  leaves  of  hopes  ;  to-morrow  blossoms, 

And  bears  his  blushing  honours  thick  upon  him ; 

The  third  day  comes  a  frost,  a  killing  frost, 

And  when  he  thinks,  good  easy  man,  full  surely 

His  greatness  is  a-ripening,  nips  his  root. 

And  then  he  falls,  as  I  do.     I  have  ventured, 

Like  little  wanton  boys  that  swim  on  bladders, 

This  many  summers  in  a  sea  of  glory. 

But  far  beyond  my  depth  :  my  high-blown  pride 

At  length  broke  under  me  and  now  has  left  me. 

Weary  and  old  with  service,  to  the  mercy 

Of  a  rude  stream,  that  must  forever  hide  me. 

Vain  pomp  and  glory  of  this  world,  I  hate  ye  : 

I  feel  my  heart  new  opened.    0,  how  wretched 

Is  that  poor  man  that  hangs  on  princes'  favours  ! 

There  is  betwixt  that  smile  we  would  aspire  to, 

That  sweet  aspect  of  princes,  and  their  ruin, 

More  pangs  and  fears  than  wars  or  women  have  : 

And  when  he  falls,  he  falls  like  Lucifer,  / 

Never  to  hope  again.  lUd.

Why,  man,  he  doth  bestride  the  narrow  world

Walk  under  his  huge  legs  and  peep  about 

To  find  ourselves  dishonourable  graves.

Let  me  have  men  about  me  that  are  fat, 
Sleek-headed  men,  and  such  as  sleep  o'  nights  : 
Yond  Cassius  has  a  lean  and  hungry  look ; 
He  thinks  too  much  :  such  men  are  dangerous. 

Julius  CcBsar.    Act  i.  Sc.  2- 

He  reads  much ; 
He  is  a  great  observer,  and  he  looks 
Quite  through  the  deeds  of  men.  /jia. 

Seldom  he  smiles,  and  smiles  in  such  a  sort 

As  if  he  mock'd  himself,  and  scorn'd  his  spirit

But,  for  my  own  part,  it  was  Greek  to  me.  7Wi 

'T  is  a  common  proof, 
That  lowliness  is  young  ambition's  ladder. 
Whereto  the  climber-upward  turns  his  face  ; 
But  when  he  once  attains  the  upmost  ^  round, 
He  then  unto  the  ladder  turns  his  back. 
Looks  in  the  clouds,  scorning  the  base  degrees 
By  which  he  did  ascend.  Act  ii.  8c.  i. 

Between  the  acting  of  a  dreadful  thing 

And  the  first  motion,  all  the  interim  is 

Like  a  phantasma,  or  a  hideous  dream : 

The  Genius  and  the  mortal  instruments 

Are  then  in  council ;  and  the  state  of  man, 

Like  to  a  little  kingdom,  suffers  then 

The  nature  of  an  insurrection.  lUd.

A  dagger  of  the  mind,  a  false  creation, 
Proceeding  from  the  heat-oppressed  brain  ?  lUd.

Beware 
Of  entrance  to  a  quarrel ;  but  being  in, 
Bear  't  that  the  opposed  may  beware  of  thee. 
Give  every  man  thy  ear,  but  few  thy  voice ; 
Take  each  man's  censure,  but  reserve  thy  judgment. 
Costly  thy  habit  as  thy  purse  can  buy, 
But  not  express'd  in  fancy ;  rich,  not  gaudy ; 
For  the  apparel  oft  proclaims  the  man: 

ffamlet.    Act  i.  Sc.  3. 
Neither  a  borrower  nor  a  lender  be ; 
For  loan  oft  loses  both  itself  and  friend.

And  it  must  follow,  as  the  night  the  day, 
Thou  canst  not  then  be  false  to  any  man.  ibid.

Let  me  not  burst  in  ignorance,  but  tell 

Why  thy  canonized  bones,  hearsed  in  death,

Thus  conscience  does  make  cowards  of  us  all ;

Still  question'd  me  the  story  of  my  life. 

From  year  to  year,  the  battles,  sieges,  fortunes, 

That  I  have  passed. 

I  ran  it  through,  even  from  my  boyish  days, 

To  the  very  moment  that  he  bade  me  tell  it : 

Wherein  I  spake  of  most  disastrous  chances. 

Of  moving  accidents  by  flood  and  field. 

Of  hair-breadth  'scapes  i'  the  imminent  deadly  breach, 

Of  being  taken  by  the  insolent  foe 

And  sold  to  slavery,  of  my  redemption  thence 

And  portance  in  my  travels'  history ; 

Wherein  of  antres  vast  and  deserts  idle, 

Rough  quarries,  rocks  and  hills  whose  heads  touch  heaven. 

It  was  my  hint  to  speak,  —  such  was  the  process  ; 

And  of  the  Cannibals  that  each  other  eat, 

The  Anthropophagi,  and  men  whose  heads 

Do  grow  beneath  their  shoulders.     This  to  hear* 

Would  Desdemona  seriously  incline.  jbid. 

And  often  did  beguile  her  of  her  tears.

That  my  youth  suffer'd.     My  story  being  done. 

She  gave  me  for  my  pains  a  world  of  sighs  ; 

She  swore,  in  faith,  't  was  strange,  't  was  passing  strange. 

'T  was  pitiful,  't  was  wondrous  pitiful ; 

She  wish'd  she  had  not  heard  it,  yet  she  wish'd 

That  Heaven  had  made  her  such  a  man ;  she  thank'd  me, 

And  bade  me,  if  I  had  a  friend  that  loved  her, 

1  "  These  things  to  hear  "  in  Singer. 


SHAKESPEARE.  151 

I  should  but  teach  him  how  to  tell  my  story, 

And  that  would  woo  her.     Upon  this  hint  I  spake : 

She  loved  me  for  the  dangers  I  had  pass'd, 

And  I  loved  her  that  she  did  pity  them.

I  shall  stay  him  no  longer  than  to  wish  him  a  rainy 
evening  to  read  this  following  discourse ;  and  that  if  he 
be  an  honest  angler,  the  east  wind  may  never  blow  when 

he  goes  a  fishing.  The  Complete  Angler.    Author's  Preface. 

As  the  Italians  say,  Good  company  in  a  journey  makes 
the  way  to  seem  the  shorter.  p^rt  l  Chap.  i. 

I  am,  sir,  a  Brother  of  the  Angle.  /jid. 

It  [angling]  deserves  commendations;  ...  it  is  an 
art  worthy  the  knowledge  and  practice  of  a  wise  man. 

Ibid. 

Angling  is  somewhat  like  poetry, — men  are   to   be 

born  so.  ijnd. 

Doubt  not  but  angling  will  prove  to  be  so  pleasant 
that  it  will  prove  to  be,  like  virtue,  a  reward  to  itself.* 

Ibid. 
Sir  Henry  Wotton  was  a  most  dear  lover  and  a  fre- 
quent practiser  of  the  Art  of  Angling;  of  which  he 
would  say,  "  'T  was  an  employment  for  his  idle  time, 
which  was  then  not  idly  spent,  a  rest  to  his  mind,  a 
cheerer  of  his  spirits,  a  diverter  of  sadness,  a  calmer  of 
unquiet  thoughts,  a  moderator  of  passions,  a  procurer  of 
contentedness ;  "  and  "  that  it  begat  habits  of  peace  and 
patience  in  those  that  professed  and  practised  it."      lud. 

You  will  find  angling  to  be  like  the  virtue  of  humility, 
which  has  a  calmness  of  spirit  and  a  world  of  other 
blessings  attending  upon  it.  md.

But  felt  through  all  this  fleshly  dress 

Bright  shoots  of  everlastingness.  The  Hetreat 

I  see  them  walking  in  an  air  of  glory 
Whose  light  doth  trample  on  my  days,  — 

1  Bishop  of  Peterborough,  1663. 


264  VAUGHAN.  —  SIDNEY. 

My  days,  which  are  at  best  but  dull  and  hoary, 

Mere  glimmering  and  decays.  They  are  all  gone. 

Dear,  beauteous  death,  the  jewel  of  the  just ! 

Shining  nowhere  but  in  the  dark ; 
What  mysteries  do  lie  beyond  thy  dust, 

Could  man  outlook  that  mark !  /5,(^. 

And  yet,  as  angels  in  some  brighter  dreams 

Call  to  the  soul  when  man  doth  sleep. 

So  some  strange  thoughts  transcend  our  wonted  themes, 

And  into  glory  peep.  76;^. 

Then  bless  thy  secret  growth,  nor  catch 
At  noise,  but  thrive  unseen  and  dumb ; 
Keep  clean,  be  as  fruit,  earn  life,  and  watch 
Till  the  white-wing'd  reapers  come  ! 

The  Seed  growing  secretly.

Chaos  of  thought  and  passion,  all  confused ;

Created  half  to  rise,  and  half  to  fall ; 

Great  lord  of  all  things,  yet  a  prey  to  all ;

Through  which  Aurora  shows  her  brightening  face ; 
You  cannot  bar  my  constant  feet  to  trace 

The  woods  and  lawns,  by  living  stream,  at  eve : 
Let  health  my  nerves  and  finer  fibres  brace. 
And  I  their  toys  to  the  great  children  leave : 
Of  fancy,  reason,  virtue,  naught  can  me  bereave.

a  scoundrel  for  charging  a  blunderbuss  against  religion

to  fire  it  off  himself,  but  left  half  a  crown  to  a  beggarly

Careless  their  merits  or  their  faults  to  scan. 

His  pity  gave  ere  charity  began. 

Thus  to  relieve  the  wretched  was  his  pride.

time,  which  gives  him  leisure  to  contrive,  and  furnishes 
ability  to  execute  military  plans."  A  meditation  on  the

The  God  who  gave  us  life,  gave  us  liberty  at  the  same

When,  in  the  course  of  human  events,  it  becomes  neces- 
sary for  one  people  to  dissolve  the  political  bands  which 
have  connected  them  with  another,  and  to  assume  among 
the  powers  of  the  earth  the  separate  and  equal  station 
to  which  the  laws  of  nature  and  of  nature's  God  ^  entitle 
them,  a  decent  respect  to  the  opinions  of  mankind  re- 
quires that  they  should  declare  the  causes  which  impel 
them  to  the  separation.  Declaration  of  Independence. 

We  hold  these  truths  to  be  self-evident,  —  that  all  men 
are  created  equal ;  that  they  are  endowed  by  their  Cre-

are  life,  liberty,  and  the  pursuit  of  happiness.  ma.

Of  the  various  executive  abilities,  no  one  excited  more

standing sufficient  for  their  stations.^  No  duty  is  at  the 
same  time  more  difficult  to  fulfil.  The  knowledge  of 
character  possessed  by  a  single  individual  is  of  necessity

we  must  resort  to  the  information  which  from  the  best 
of  men,  acting  disinterestedly  and  with  the  purest  mo- 
tives, is  sometimes  incorrect.

The  intelligible  forms  of  ancient  poets, 
The  fair  humanities  of  old  religion, 
The  power,  the  beauty,  and  the  majesty 
That  had  their  haunts  in  dale  or  piny  mountain. 
Or  forest  by  slow  stream,  or  pebbly  spring, 
Or  chasms  and  watery  depths,  —  all  these  have  vanished ; 
They  live  no  longer  in  the  faith  of  reason.

COLERIDGE.  —  QUINCY.  505 

Reviewers  are  usually  people  who  would  have  been 
poets,  historians,  biographers,  if  they  could ;  they  have 
tried  their  talents  at  one  or  the  other,  and  have  failed ; 
therefore  they  turn  critics.^

If  this  bill  [for  the  admission  of  Orleans  Territory  as 
a  State]  passes,  it  is  my  deliberate  opinion  that  it  is 
virtually  a  dissolution  of  the  Union ;  that  it  will  free  the 
States  from  their  moral  obligation ;  and,  as  it  will  be  the 
right  of  all,  so  it  will  be  the  duty  of  some,  definitely  to 
prepare  for  a  separation, — amicably  if  they  can,  violently 
if  they  must.^

When  I  see  a  merchant  over-polite  to  his  customers,

The  very  essence  of  a  free  government  consists  in  con- 
sidering offices  as  public  trusts,^  bestowed  for  the  good 
of  the  country,  and  not  for  the  benefit  of  an  individual 
or  a  party.  Speech,  Feb.  13, 1836. 

A  power  has  risen  up  in  the  government  greater  than 
the  people  themselves,  consisting  of  many  and  various 
and  powerful  interests,  combined  into  one  mass,  and  held 
together  by  the  cohesive  power  of  the  vast  surplus  in  the 

banks.*  Speech,  May  27, 1836.

finally,  that  the  last  object  to  the  sight  of  him  who 
leaves  his  native  shore,  and  the  first  to  gladden  his  who 
revisits  it,  may  be  something  which  shall  remind  him  of 
the  liberty  and  the  glory  of  his  country.  Let  it  rise  !  let 
it  rise,  till  it  meet  the  sun  in  his  coming ;  let  the  earliest

So  his  life  has  flowed 
From  its  mysterious  urn  a  sacred  stream, 
In  whose  calm  depth  the  beautiful  and  pure 
Alone  are  mirrored ;  which,  though  shapes  of  ill 
May  hover  round  its  surface,  glides  in  light, 
And  takes  no  shadow  from  them.  ion.   Acfi.  8c.  i.

More  exquisite  than  when  nectarean  juice

Clever  men  are  good,  but  they  are  not  the  best, 

Goethe.    Edinburgh  Rtview,  1828. 
We  are  firm  believers  in  the  maxim  that  for  all  right 
judgment  of  any  man  or  thing  it  is  useful,  nay,  essential, 
to  see  his  good  qualities  before  pronouncing  on  his  bad.

that  "  ridicule  is  the  test  of  truth."  ^ 

Voltaire.    Foreign  Review,  1829. 

We  must  repeat  the  often  repeated  saying,  that  it  is 

unworthy  a   religious  man  to  view  an  irreligious  one 

either  with  alarm  or  aversion,  or  with  any  other  feeling 

than  regret  and  hope  and  brotherly  commiseration.

'T  was  the  saying  of  an  ancient  sage  (Gorgias  Leontinus,  ryjurf  Aristotle's 
"Rhetoric,"  lib.  iii.  c.  18),  that  humour  was  the  only  test  of  gravity,  and 
gravity  of  humour.  For  a  subject  which  would  not  bear  raillery  was  suspi- 
cious ;  and  a  jest  which  would  not  bear  a  serious  examination  was  certainly 
false  wit.  —  Ibid,  sect  5.

1  This  song  —  written  and  composed  by  Linley  for  Mr.  Augustus  Braham, 
and  sung  by  him  —  is  given  entire,  as  so  much  inquiry  has  been  made  for 
the  source  of  "Though  lost  to  Sight,  to  Memory  dear."  It  is  not  known 
when  the  song  was  written,  —  probably  about  1830. 

Another  song,  entitled  "Though  lost  to  Sight,  to  Memory  dear,"  was 
published  in  London  in  1880,  purporting  to  have  been  "written  by  Ruthven 
Jenkyns  In  1703."  It  is  said  to  have  been  published  in  the  "  Magazine  for 
Mariners."  No  such  magazine,  however,  ever  existed,  and  the  composer 
of  the  music  acknowledged,  in  a  private  letter,  to  have  copied  the  song  from 
an  American  newspaper.  There  is  no  other  authority  for  the  origin  of  this 
song,  and  the  reputed  author,  Ruthven  Jenkyns,  was  living,  under  the  name 
of  C ,  in  California  in  1882.

And  breasts  the  blows  of  circumstance. 

In  Memoriam. 

And  lives  to  clutch  the  golden  keys, 
To  mould  a  mighty  state's  decrees, 
And  shape  the  whisper  of  the  throne. 

So  many  worlds,  so  much  to  do. 
So  little  done,  such  things  to  be. 

Thy  leaf  has  perish'd  in  the  green. 

And,  while  we  breathe  beneath  the  sun, 
The  world,  which  credits  what  is  done. 

Is  cold  to  all  that  might  have  been. 

O  last  regret,  regret  can  die ! 

There  lives  more  faith  in  honest  doubt, 
Believe  me,  than  in  half  the  creeds. 

He  seems  so  near,  and  yet  so  far. 

King  out,  wild  bells,  to  the  wild  sky ! 

Ring  out  the  old,  ring  in  the  new. 
Ring,  happy  bells,  across  the  snow  ! 

Ring  out,  ying  out  my  mournful  rhymes, 
But  ring  the  fuller  minstrel  in  ! 

Ring  out  old  shapes  of  foul  disease. 
Ring  out  the  narrowing  lust  of  gold ; 
Ring  out  the  thousand  wars  of  old, 

Ring  in  the  thousand  years  of  peace  !

Ring  out  the  darkness  of  the  land, 

Ring  in  the  Christ  that  is  to  be  !

The  grand  old  name  of  gentleman, 
Defamed  by  every  charlatan,

The  world,  and  whatever  that  be  which  we  call  the

No  great  thing  is  created  suddenly,  any  more  than  a

If  what  the  philosophers  say  be  true,  —  that  all  men's

.a  persuasion  that  it  is  not,  and  suspend  their  judgment 
from  a  persuasion  that  it  is  uncertain,  —  so  likewise 
they  seek  a  thing  from  a  persuasion  that  it  is  for  their 
advantage.  Chap.  xviH.

This  Being  of  mine,  whatever  it  really  is,  consists  of  a 
little  flesh,  a  little  breath,  and  the  part  which  governs. 

Meditations,    ii,  2. 

The  ways  of  the  gods  are  full  of  providence.  5. 

Thou  wilt  find  rest  from  vain  fancies  if  thou  doest 
every  act  in  life  as  though  it  were  thy  last.^  5, 

Thou  seest  how  few  be  the  things,  the  which  if  a  man 
has  at  his  command  his  life  flows  gently  on  and  is  divine. 

Ibid. 

Find  time  still  to  be  learning  somewhat  good,  and  give 
up  being  desultory.  7. 

No  state  sorrier  than  that  of  the  man  who  keeps  up  a 
continual  round,  and  pries  into  "  the  secrets  of  the  nether 
world,"  as  saith  the  poet,  and  is  curious  in  conjecture  of 
what  is  in  his  neighbour's  heart.  13. 

Though  thou  be  destined  to  live  three  thousand  years 
and  as  many  myriads  besides,  yet  remember  that  no  man 
loseth  other  life  than  that  which  he  liveth,  nor  liveth 
other  than  that  which  he  loseth.  14, 

For  a  man  can  lose  neither  the  past  nor  the  future ; 
for  how  can  one  take  from  him  that  which  is  not  his  ? 
So  remember  these  two  points :  first,  that  each  thing  is 
of  like  form  from  everlasting  and  comes  round  again  in 
its  cycle,  and  that  it  signifies  not  whether  a  man  shall 
look  upon  the  same  things  for  a  hundred  years  or  two 
hundred,  or  for  an  infinity  of  time ;  second,  that  the  long- 
est lived  and  the  shortest  lived  man,  when  they  come  to 
die,  lose  one  and  the  same  thing.  lud.

A  similar  saying  falls  from  his  lips  at  another  time  :  "Let  ereri'  act

take  thy  leave  of  life."

Eemember  that  man's  life  lies  all  within  this  present, 
as  't  were  but  a  hair's-breadth  of  time ;  as  for  the  rest, 
the  past  is  gone,  the  future  yet  unseen.  Short,  there- 
fore, is  man's  life,  and  narrow  is  the  corner  of  the  earth 
wherein  he  dwells.  10. 

Nothing  has  such  power  to  broaden  the  mind  as  the 
ability  to  investigate  systematically  and  truly  all  that 
comes  under  thy  observation  in  life.  n. 

As  surgeons  keep  their  instruments  and  knives  always 
at  hand  for  cases  requiring  immediate  treatment,  so 
shouldst  thou  have  thy  thoughts  ready  to  understand 
things  divine  and  human,  remembering  in  thy  every 
act,  even  the  smallest,  how  close  is  the  bond  that  unites 
the  two.  13.

752  MARCUS  AURELIUS. 

Doth  perfect  beauty  stand  in  need  of  praise  at  all? 
Nay;  no  more  than  law,  no  more  than  truth,  no  more 
than  loving  kindness,  nor  than  modesty. 

Meditations,    iv.  20. 

All  that  is  harmony  for  thee,  0  Universe,  is  in  har- 
mony with  me  as  well.  Nothing  that  comes  at  the  right 
time  for  thee  is  too  early  or  too  late  for  me.  Everything 
is  fruit  to  me  that  thy  seasons  bring,  O  Nature.  All 
things  come  of  thee,  have  their  being  in  thee,  and  return 
to  thee.  23. 

"  Let  thine  occupations  be  few,"  saith  the  sage,^  "  if 
thou  wouldst  lead  a  "tranquil  life."  24. 

Love  the  little  trade  which  thou  hast  learned,  and  be 
content  therewith.  32. 

Remember  this,  —  that  there  is  a  proper  dignity  and 
proportion  to  be  observed  in  the  performance  of  every 
act  of  life.  32. 

All  is  ephemeral,  — fame  and  the  famous  as  well.      35. 

Observe  always  that  everything  is  the  result  of  a 
change,  and  get  used  to  thinking  that  there  is  nothing 
Nature  loves  so  well  as  to  change  existing  forms  and  to 
make  new  ones  like  them.  55, 

Search  men's  governing  principles,  and  consider  the 
wise,  what  they  shun  and  what  they  cleave  to.  38. 

Time  is  a  sort  of  river  of  passing  events,  and  strong  is 
its  current ;  no  sooner  is  a  thing  brought  to  sight  than  it 
is  swept  by  and  another  takes  its  place,  and  this  too  will 
be  swept  away.  43. 

All  that  happens  is  as  usual  and  familiar  as  the  rose 
in  spring  and  the  crop  in  summer.  44. 

That  which  comes  after  ever  conforms  to  that  which 
has  gone  before.  45.

Mark  how  fleeting  and  paltry  is  the  estate  of  man,  —

olive,  extolling  the  season  that  bore  it  and  the  tree  that

Deem  not  life  a  thing  of  consequence.  For  look  at

754  MARCUS  AURELIUS. 

If  any  man  can  convince  me  and  bring  home  to  me 
that  I  do  not  think  or  act  aright,  gladly  will  I  change ; 
for  I  search  after  truth,  by  which  man  never  yet  was 
harmed.  But  he  is  harmed  who  abideth  on  still  in  his 
deception  and  ignorance.  Meditations.   vL  21. 

Death,  —  a  stopping  of  impressions  through  the  senses, 
and  of  the  pulling  of  the  cords  of  motion,  and  of  the 
ways  of  thought,  and  of  service  to  the  flesh.  28. 

Suit  thyself  to  the  estate  in  which  thy  lot  is  cast.      39, 

What  is  not  good  for  the  swarm  is  not  good  for  the 
bee.  S4, 

How  many,  once  lauded  in  song,  are  given  over  to  the 
forgotten;  and  how  many  who  sung  their  praises  are 
clean  gone  long  ago !  rii.  e. 

One  Universe  made  up  of  all  that  is  ;  and  one  God  in 
it  all,  and  one  principle  of  Being,  and  one  Law,  the  Rea- 
son, shared  by  all  thinking  creatures,  and  one  Truth.     9. 

To  a  rational  being  it  is  the  same  thing  to  act  accord- 
ing to  nature  and  according  to  reason.  jj. 

Let  not  thy  mind  run  on  what  thou  lackest  as  much 
as  on  what  thou  hast  already.  27. 

Just  as  the  sand-dunes,  heaped  one  upon  another, 
hide  each  the  first,  so  in  life  the  former  deeds  are  quickly 
hidden  by  those  that  follow  after.  34. 

The  art  of  living  is  more  like  wrestling  than  dancing, 
in  so  far  as  it  stands  ready  against  the  accidental  and 
the  unforeseen,  and  is  not  apt  to  fall.  ei. 

■  Remember  this,  —  that  very  little  is  needed  to  make  a 
happy  life.  67. 

Remember  that  to  change  thy  mind  and  to  follow  him 
that  sets  thee  right,  is  to  be  none  the  less  the  free  agent 
that  thou  wast  before.  via.  le. 


MARCUS  AURELIUS.  755 

Look  to  the  essence  of  a  thing,  whether  it  be  a  point 
of  doctrine,  of  practice,  or  of  interpretation. 

Meditations,     viii,  22, 

A  man's  happiness,  —  to  do  the  things  proper  to  man. 

26. 

Be  not  careless  in  deeds,  nor  confused  in  words,  nor 
rambling  in  thought.  si. 

He  that  knows  not  what  the  world  is,  knows  not  where 
he  is  himself.  He  that  knows  not  for  what  he  was  made, 
knows  not  what  he  is  nor  what  the  world  is.  52. 

The  nature  of  the  universe  is  the  nature  of  things  that 
are.  Now,  things  that  are  have  kinship  with  things  that 
are  from  the  beginning.  Further,  this  nature  is  styled 
Truth ;  and  it  is  the  first  cause  of  all  that  is  true.      ix.  1. 

He  would»be  the  finer  gentleman  that  should  leave  the 
world  without  having  tasted  of  lying  or  pretence  of  any 
sort,  or  of  wantonness  or  conceit.  2. 

Think  not  disdainfully  of  death,  but  look  on  it  with 
favour ;  for  even  death  is  one  of  the  things  that  Nature 
wills.  3. 

A  wrong-doer  is  often  a  man  that  has  left  something 
undone,  not  always  he  that  has  done  something.  5. 

Blot  out  vain  pomp ;  check  impulse ;  quench  appetite"; 
keep  reason  under  its  own  control.  7. 

Things  that  have  a  common  quality  ever  quickly  seek 
their  kind.  9, 

All  things  are  the  same,  —  familiar  in  enterprise,  mo- 
mentary in  endurance,  coarse  in  substance.  All  things 
now  are  as  they  were  in  the  day  of  those  whom  we  have 
buried.  14, 

The  happiness  and  unhappiness  of  the  rational,  social 
animal  depends  not  on  what  he  feels  but  on  what  he 
does ;  just  as  his  virtue  and  vice  consist  not  in  feeling 
but  in  doing.  le.

Everything  is  in  a  state  of  metamorphosis.  Thou  thy- 
self art  in  everlasting  change  and  in  corruption  to  corre- 
spond ;  so  is  the  whole  universe.  Meditations,   ix.  19. 

Forward,  as  occasion  offers.  Never  look  round  to  see 
whether  any  shall  note  it.  .  .  .  Be  satisfied  with  success 
in  even  the  smallest  matter,  and  think  that  even  such  a 
result  is  no  trifle.  2.9. 

He  that  dies  in  extreme  old  age  will  be  reduced  to  the

Remember  that  what  pulls  the  strings  is  the  force 
hidden  within ;  there  lies  the  power  to  persuade,  there 
the  life,  — there,  if  one  must  speak  out,  the  real  man.    33. 

No  form  of  Nature  is  inferior  to  Art;  for  the  arts 
merely  imitate  natural  forms.  xi.  10.

not.  xii.  17.

'T  is  money  makes  the  man ;  and  he  who 's  none 
Is  counted  neither  good  nor  honourable, 

Thales.    vii. 

Thales  said  there  was  no  difference  between  life  and 
death.  "Why,  then,"  said  some  one  to  him,  "do  not 
you  die  ? "  "  Because,"  said  he,  "  it  does  make  no 
difference."  ix. 

When  Thales  was  asked  what  was  difficult,  he  said, 
"  To  know  one's  self."  And  what  was  easy,  "  To  advise 
another."  ibid. 

He  said  that  men  ought  to  remember  those  friends  who 
were  absent  as  well  as  those  who  were  present.  ibid.

Solon  used  to  say  that  speech  was  the  image  of  actions ; 
.  .  .  that  laws  were  like  cobwebs,  —  for  that  if  any  tri- 
fling or  powerless  thing  fell  into  them,  they  held  it  fast ; 
while  if  it  were  something  weightier,  it  broke  through 
them  and  was  off.  Solon,   x. 

Solon  gave  the  following  advice :  "  Consider  your  hon- 
our, as  a  gentleman,  of  more  weight  than  an  oath.  Never 
tell  a  lie.    Pay  attention  to  matters  of  importance."     xii.

"Nothing  in  excess."  *  xvi

It  was  a  common  saying  of  Myson  that  men  ought  not

On  one  occasion  Aristotle  was  asked  how  much  edu-

He  used  to  define  justice  as  "  a  virtue  of  the  soul  dis- 
tributing that  which  each  person  deserved."  md.

everything  will  be  turned  upside  down."  ri. 

One  of  the  sayings  of  Diogenes  was  that  most  men 
were  within  a  finger's  breadth  of  being  mad ;  for  if  a  man 
walked  with  his  middle  finger  pointing  out,  folks  would 
think  him  mad,  biit  not  so  if  it  were  his  forefinger.     lud.

When  asked  wliat  he  would  take  to  let  a  man  give 
him  a  blow  on  the  head,  he  said,  "  A  helmet." 

Diogenes,    vi. 

Once  he  saw  a  youth  blushing,  and  addressed  him, 
"  Courage,  my  boy !  that  is  the  complexion  of  virtue."  ^ 

Ibid. 

When  asked  what  wine  he  liked  to  drink,  he  replied, 
"  That  which  belongs  to  another."  /6,d. 

Asked  from  what  country  he  came,  he  replied,  "  I  am 
a  citizen  of  the  world."  ^  ct. 

When  a  man  reproached  him  for  going  into  unclean 
places,  he  said,  "  The  sun  too  penetrates  into  privies,  but 
is  not  polluted  by  them."  '  /ji^. 

Diogenes  said  once  to  a  person  who  was  showing  him 
a  dial,  "It  is  a  very  useful  thing  to  save  a  man  from 
being  too  late  for  supper."  Menedemus.   m. 

When  Zeno  was  asked  what  a  friend  was,  he  replied, 
"  Another  I."  *  Zeno.   xix. 

They  say  that  the  first  inclination  which  an  animal 
has  is  to  protect  itself.  /«. 

One  ought  to  seek  out  virtue  for  its  own  sake,  with- 
out being  influenced  by  fear  or  hope,  or  by  any  external 
influence.  Moreover,  that  in  that  does  happiness  con- 
sist.^  liii. 

The  Stoics  also  teach  that  God  is  unity,  and  that  he  is 
called  Mind  and  Fate  and  Jupiter,  and  by  many  other 
names  besides.  ixviH. 

They  also  say  that  God  is  an  animal  immortal,  ra- 
tional, perfect,  and  intellectual  in  his  happiness,  unsus- 
ceptible of  any  kind  of  evil,  having  a  foreknowledge  of

the  universe  and  of  all  that  is  in  the  universe ;  however, 
that  he  has  not  the  figure  of  a  man ;  and  that  he  is  the 
creator  of  the  universe,  and  as  it  were  the  Father  of  all 
things  in  common,  and  that  a  portion  of  him  pervades 
everything.  Zeno.   Ixxii. 

But  Chrysippus,  Posidonius,  Zeno,  and  Boethus  say, 
that  all  things  are  produced  by  fate.  And  fate  is  a  con- 
nected cause  of  existing  things,  or  the  reason  according 
to  which  the  world  is  regulated.  tcanV. 

Apollodorus  says,  "  If  any  one  were  to  take  away  from 
the  books  of  Chrysippus  all  the  passages  which  he  quotes 
from  other  authors,  his  paper  would  be  left  empty." 

Chrysippus.    Hi, 

One  of  the  sophisms  of  Chrysippus  was,  "  If  you  have 
not  lost  a  thing,  you  have  it."  xi. 

Pythagoras  used  to  say  that  he  had  received  as  a  gift 
from  Mercury  the  perpetual  transmigration  of  his  soul, 
so  that  it  was  constantly  transmigrating  and  passing  into 

all  sorts  of  plants  or  animals,  Pythagoras,     iv. 

He  calls  drunkenness  an  expression  identical  with  ruin.^ 

vi. 

Among  what  he  called  his  precepts  were  such  as  these : 
Do  not  stir  the  fire  with  a  sword.  Do  not  sit  down  qn  a 
bushel.     Do  not  devour  thy  heart.^  xvii. 

In  the  time  of  Pythagoras  that  proverbial  phrase  "Ipse 
dixit "  *  was  introduced  into  ordinary  life.

Xenophanes  was  the  first  person  who  asserted  .  .  .  that 

the  soul  is  a  spirit.  Xenophanes.    Hi. 

It  takes  a  wise  man  to  discover  a  wise  man.  ibid-

question,  exactly  opposite  to  each  other.       Protagoras.   HL

Nothing  can  be  produced  out  of  nothing.^

Xenophanes  speaks  thus  :  — 

And  no  man  knows  distinctly  anything, 

And  no  man  ever  will.  Pyrrho.   viH. 

Democritus  says,  "But  we  know  nothing  really;  for 
truth  lies  deep  down."  jbid, 

Euripides  says,  — 

Who  knows  but  that  this  life  is  really  death. 

And  whether  death  is  not  what  men  call  life  ?     ibid. 

The  mountains,  too,  at  a  distance  appear  airy  masses 
and  smooth,  but  seen  near  at  hand,  they  are  rough.'^ 

ix. 

If  appearances  are  deceitful,  then  they  do  not  deserve 
any  confidence  when  they  assert  what  appears  to  them 
to  be  true.  xi. 

The  chief  good  is  the  suspension  of  the  judgment, 

which  tranquillity  of  mind  follows  like  its  shadow. 

Ibid. 

Epicurus  laid  down  the  doctrine  that  pleasui'e  was  the 

chief  good.  Epicurus     vi.

It  was  a  saying  of  Demetrius  Phalereus,  that  "Men 
having  often  abandoned  what  was  visible  for  the  sake  of 
what  was  uncertain,  have  not  got  what  they  expected, 
and  have  lost  what  they  had,  —  being  unfortunate  by  an 
enigmatical  sort  of  calamity."  '         The  Deipnosophists.   vi.  23.

Dorion,  ridiculing  the  description  of  a  tempest  in  the 
"  Nautilus  "  of  Timotheus,  said  that  he  had  seen  a  more

On  one  occasion  some  one  put  a  very  little  wine  into  a

Our  virtues  are  most  frequently  but  vices  disguised.* 
We  have  all  sufficient  strength  to  endure  the  misfor^ 

tunes  of  others.  Maxim  19. 

Philosophy  triumphs  easily  over  past  evils  and  future 
evils ;  but  present  evils  triumph  over  it.*  Maxim  22. 

We  need  greater  virtues  to  sustain  good  than  evil  for- 
tune. Maxim  25. 

Neither  the  sun  nor  death  can  be  looked  at  with  a 
steady  eye.  Maxim  26. 

Interest  speaks  all  sorts  of  tongues,  and  plays  all  sorts 
of  parts,  even  that  of  disinterestedness.  Maxim  39. 

We  are  never  so  happy  or  so  unhappy  as  we  suppose. 

Maxim  49. 

There  are  few  people  who  would  not  be  ashamed  of 
being  loved  when  they  love  no  longer.  Maxim  7i.

True  love  is  like  ghosts,  which  everybody  talks  about 
and  few  have  seen.  Maxim  76. 

The  love  of  justice  is  simply,  in  the  majority  of  men, 
the  fear  of  suffering  injustice.  Mcunm  78. 

Silence  is  the  best  resolve  for  him  who  distrusts  him- 
self. Maxim  79. 

Friendship  is  only  a  reciprocal  conciliation  of  inter- 
ests, and  an  exchange  of  good  offices ;  it  is  a  species  of 
commerce  out  of  which  self-love  always  expects  to  gain 

something.  Maxim  83. 

A  man  who  is  ungrateful  is  often  less  to  blame  than 
his  benefactor.  Maxim  96. 

The  understanding  is  always  the  dupe  of  the  heart. 

Maxim  102. 

Nothing  is  given  so  profusely  as  advice.  Maxim  no. 

The  true  way  to  be  deceived  is  to  think  oneself  more 
knowing  than  others.  Maxim  127. 

Usually  we  praise  only  to  be  praised.  Maxim  i46. 

Our  repentance  is  not  so  much  regret  for  the  ill  we 
have  done  as  fear  of  the  ill  that  may  happen  to  us  in 
consequence.  Maanm  180. 

Most  people  judge  men  only  by  success  or  by  fortune. 

Maxim  212. 

Hypocrisy  is  the  homage  vice  pays  to  virtue. 

Maanm  218, 

Too  great  haste  to  repay  an  obligation  is  a  kind  of 
ingratitude.  Maxim  226. 

There  is  great  ability  in  knowing  how  to  conceal  one's 

ability.  Maxim  245. 

The  pleasure  of  love  is  in  loving.  We  are  happier  in 
the  passion  we  feel  than  in  that  we  inspire.^      Maxim  269

We  always  like  those  who  admire  us  ;  we  do  not

have  given  ;  I  have  kept ;  I  have  possessed ;  I  do  possess ;

^  Count  Miinster,  Hanoverian  envoy  at  St.  Petersburg,  discovered  that 
Russian  civilization  is  "merely  artificial,"  and  first  published  to  Europe  the 
short  description  of  the  Russian  Constitution,  —  that  it  is  "  absolutism  tem- 
pered by  assassination."

8  On  the  authority  of  Madame  de  Hausset  ("  M^moires,"  p.  19),  this 
phrase  is  ascribed  to  Madame  de  Pompadour.  Larouse  ("  Fleurs  Histo- 
riques  ")  attributes  it  to  Louis  XV. 

<  It  was  from  the  imperial  camp  near  Pavia  that  Francis  I.,  before  leav- 
ing for  Pizzighettone,  wrote  to  his  mother  the  memorable  letter  which, 
thanks  to  tradition,  has  become  altered  to  the  form  of  this  sublime  lacon- 
ism  :  "Madame,  tout  est  perdu  fors  I'honneur." 

The  true  expression  is,  "Madame,  pour  vous  faire  savoir  comme  se 
porte  le  reste  de  mon  infortune,  de  toutes  choses  ne  m'est  demeur^  que 
I'honneur  et  la  vie  qui  est  sauv«?." — Martix  :  Histoire  de  France,  tome 
via. 

The  correction  of  this  expression  was  first  made  by  Sismondi,  vol.  xvi. 
pp.  241,  242.  The  letter  itself  is  printed  entire  in  Dulaure's  "  Histoire  de 
Paris  " :  "  Pour  vous  avertir  comment  se  porte  le  ressort  de  mon  infor- 
tune, de  toutes  choses  ne  m'est  demeur^  que  I'honneur  et  la  vie,  —  qui  est

Art  and  part. 

A  Scotch  law-phrase,  — an  accessory  before  and  after  the  fact.  A  man 
is  said  to  be  art  and  part  of  a  crime  when  he  contrives  the  manner 
of  the  deed,  and  concurs  with  and  encourages  those  who  commit  the 
crime,  although  he  does  not  put  his  own  hand  to  the  actual  execu- 
tion of  it.  —  Scott  :  Tales  of  a  Grandfather,  chaj).  xxii.  {Execution

Before  you  could  say  Jack  Robinson. 

This  current  phrase  is  said  to  be  derived  from  a  humorous  song  by  Hud- 
son, a  tobacconist  in  Slioe  Lane,  London.  He  was  a  professional  song- 
writer and  vocalist,  who  used  to  be  engaged  to  sing  at  supper-rooms 
and  theatrical  houses.

(Cited  from  an  old  Play.) 

Begging  the  question. 

This  is  a  common  logical  fallacy,  petilio  pnncipii ;  and  the  first  explana- 
tion of  the  phrase  is  to  be  found  in  Aristotle's  "  Topica,"  viii.  13,  where 
the  five  ways  of  begging  the  question  are  set  forth.  The  earliest  Eng- 
lish work  in  which  the  expression  is  found  is  'The  Arte  of  Logike 
plainlie  set  forth  in  our  English  Tongue,  &c."    (1584.) 

Better  to  wear  out  than  to  rust  out. 

When  a  friend  told  Bishop  Cumberland  (1632-1718)  he  would  wear 
himself  out  by  his  incessant  application,  "It  is  better,"  replied  the 
Bishop,  "to  wear  out  than  to  rust  out."  —  Horne  :  Sermon  on  the 
Duty  of  Contending  Jor  the  Truth. 

BoswELL :  Tour  to  the  Hebrides,  p.  18,  note. 

Beware  of  a  man  of  one  book. 

When  St.  Thomas  Aquinas  was  asked  in  what  manner  a  man  might 
best  become  learned,  he  answered,  "By  reading  one  book."  The 
homo  unius  libri  is  indeed  proverbially  formidable  to  all  conver- 
sational figurantes.  —  Southey  :   The  Doctor,  p.  164. 

Bitter  end. 

This  phrase  is  nearly  without  meaning  as  it  is  used.  The  true  phrase, 
"better  end,"  is  used  properly  to  designate  a  crisis,  or  the  moment 
of  an  extremity.  VV'hen  in  a  gale  a  vessel  has  paid  out  all  her  cable, 
her  cable  has  run  out  to  the  "better  end," — the  end  which  is  secured 
within  the  vessel  and  little  used.  Robinson  Crusoe  in  describing  the 
terrible  storm  in  Yarmouth  Roads  nays,  "We  rode  with  two  anchors 
ahead,  and  the  cables  veered  out  to  the  better  end." 

Cockles  of  the  heart. 

Latham  says  the  most  probable  explanation  of  this  phrase  lies  (1)  in  the 
likeness  of  a  heart  to  a  cockleshell,  —  the  ba.se  of  the  former  being 
compared  to  the  hinge  of  the  latter  ;  (2)  in  the  zoological  name  for 
the  cockle  and  its  congeners  being  Cardium,  from  KapSia  (heart). 


854  APPENDIX. 

Castles  in  the  aii*.  t 

This  is  a  proverbial  phrase  found  throughout  English  literature,  the  first 
instance  noted  being  in  Sir  Philip  Sidney's  "  Defence  of  Poesy." 

Consistency,  thou  art  a  jewel. 

This  is  one  of  those  popular  sayings  —  like  "Be  good,  and  you  will  be 
happy,"  or  "  Virtue  is  its  own  reward"  — that,  like  Topsy,  "never 
was  born,  only  jist  growed."  From  the  earliest  times  it  has  been  the 
popular  tendency  to  call  this  or  that  cardinal  virtue,  or  bright  and 
shining  excellence,  a  jewel,  by  way  of  emphasis.  For  example,  lago 
says,  — 

"  Good  name,  in  man  or  woman^  dear  my  lord. 
Is  the  immediate ^ewe/  of  their  souls." 
Shakespeare elsewliere  calls  experience  a  "jewel."    Miranda  Fays  her 
modesty  is  the  "Jewel "  in  her  dower  ;  and  in  "  All 's  Well  that  ends 
Well,"  Diana  terms  her  chastity  the  "jewel"  of  her  house.  —  E.  A. 
Wight. 

O  discretion,  thou  art  a  jewel  !  —  The  Skylark,  a  Collection  of  well- 
chosen  Enfjlish  Sunrjs.    (London,  1772.) 

The  origin  of  tiiis  expression  is  unknown.  Some  wag  of  the  day 
allayed  public  curiosity  in  regard  to  its  source  with  the  infonnation 
that  it  is  from  the  ballad  of  Robin  Roughhead  in  Murfagh's  "  Col- 
lection of  Ballads  (1754)."  It  is  neediest  to  say  that  Miirtagh  is  a 
verbal  phantom,  and  the  ballaff  of  Robin  Roughhead  first  appeared 
in  an  American  newspaper  in  1867. 

Cotton  is  King ;  or,  Slavery  in  the  Light  of  Political

mond in  the  United  States  Senate,  March,  1858.

l)ie  in  the  last  ditch. 

To  William  of  Orange  may  be  ascribed  this  saying.  When  Bucking- 
ham urged  the  inevitable  destruction  which  hung  over  the  United 
Provinces,  and  asked  him  whether  he  did  not  see  that  the  common- 
wealth was  ruined,  "There  is  one  certain  means,"  replied  the  Prince, 
"by  which  I  can  be  sure  never  to  see  my  country's  ruin,  — I  will  die 
in  the  last  ditch."  — Hume  :  History  of  England.  (1622.)

It  is  the  common  fate  of  the  indolent  to  see  their  rights  become  a

Gentle  craft. 

According  to  Brad}'  ("  Clavis  Calendaria "),  this  designation  arose 
from  the  fact  that  in  an  old  romance  a  prince  of  the  name  of  Cris- 
pin is  made  to  exercise,  in  honour  of  his  namesake,  Saint  Crispin,  the 
trade  of  shoemaking.  There  is  a  tradition  that  King  Exlward  IV., 
in  one  of  his  disguises,  once  drank  with  a  party  of  shoemakers,  and 
pledged  them.  The  story  is  alluded  to  in  the  old  play  of  "George 
a-Greene"  (1599):—  « 

Marry,  because  you  have  drank  with  the  King, 
And  the  King  hath  so  graciously  pledged  you, 
You  shall  no  more  be  called  shoemakers  ; 
But  you  and  yours,  to  the  world's  end. 
Shall  be  called  the  trade  of  the  gentle  craft.

Hobson's  choice. 

Tobias  Hobsoii  (died  lf530)  was  the  first  man  in  England  that  let  out 
hackney  horses.  When  a  man  came  for  a  horse  lie  was  led  intu  the 
stable,  where  there  was  a  great  choice,  but  he  obliged  him  to  take 
the  horse  which  stood  next  to  the  stable-door  ;  so  that  every  cus- 
tomer was  alike  well  served  according  to  his  chance,  — from  whence 
it  became  a  proverb  when  what  ought  to  be  your  election  was  forced 
upon  you,  to  say,  "Hobson's  choice."  —  Spectator,  No.  509.

Intolerable  in  Almighty  God  to  a  black  beetle. 

Lord  Coleridge  remarked  that  Maule  told  him  what  he  said  in  the 
"black  beetle"  matter:  '  Creswell,  who  had  been  his  pupil,  was  on 
the  other  side  in  a  case  where  he  was  counsel,  and  was  very  lofty 
in  his  manner.  Maule  appealed  to  the  court:  'My  lords,  we  are 
vertebrate  animals,  we  are  mammalia!  My  learned  friend's  manner 
,  would  be  intolerable  in  Almighty  God  to  a  black  beetle.'  "  (Repeated

It  is  a  far  cry  to  Lochow. 

Lochow  and  the  adjacent  districts  formed  the  original  seat  of  the

Nation  of  shopkeepers. 

From  an  oration  purporting  to  have  been  delivered  by  Samuel  Adams 
at  tlie  State  House  in  Philadelphia,  Aug.  1,  1776.  (Philadelphia, 
printed;  London,  reprinted  for  E.  Johnson,  No.  4  Ludgate  Hill,  1776.) 
W.  V.  Wells,  in  his  Life  of  Adams,  says  :  "No  such  American  edi- 
tion has  ever  been  seen,  but  at  least  four  copies  are  known  of  the 
London  issue.  A  German  translation  of  this  oration  was  printed  in 
1778,  perhaps  at  Berne;  the  place  of  publication  is  not  given." 

To  found  a  great  empire  for  the  sole  purpose  of  raising  up  a  people  of 
customers  may  at  tirst  sight  appear  a  project  fit  only  for  a  nation  of 
shopkeepers.  — Adam  Smith  :  Wealth  of  Nations,  vol.  ii.  book  iv.

1854.)    A  French  proverb. 

Orthodoxy  is  my  doxy ;  Heterodoxy  is  another  man's 

doxy. 

"I  have  heard  frequent  use,"  said  the  late  Lord  Sandwich,  in  a  debate 
on  the  Test  Laws,  "of  the  words  'orthodoxy'  and  'heterodoxy;' 
but  I  confess  myself  at  a  loss  to  know  precisely  what  they  mean." 
"Orthodoxy,  my  Lord."  said  Bishop  Warburton,  in  a  whisper, — 
"orthodoxy  is  my  doxy;  heterodoxy  is  another  man's  doxy."  — 
PRIESTL.EY:  Memoirs,  vol.  i.  p.  572. 

Paradise  of  fools  ;  Fool's  paradise. 

The  earliest  instance  of  this  expression  is  found  in  "William  Bullcin's 
"Dialogue."  p.  28  (1573).  It  is  used  by  Shakespeare,  Middleton, 
Milton,  Pope,  Fielding,  Crabbe,  and  others.

Public  trusts.  * 

It  is  not  fit  the  public  trusts  should  be  lodged  in  the  hands  of  any  till 
they  are  first  proved,  and  found  fit  for  the  business  they  are  to  be 
intrusted  with.  —  Mathew  Henky:  Commentaries,  Timothy  Hi. 

To  execute  laws  is  a  roj'al  office;  to  execute  orders  is  not  to  be  a  liing. 
However,  a  political  executive  magistracy,  though  merely  such,  is  a 
great  trust.  —  Burke  :  On  the  French  Revolution. 

When  a  man  assumes  a  public  trust,  he  should  consider  himself  as 
public  propertj'. — Thomas  Jeffekson  ("Winter  in  Washington, 
1807 "),  in  a  conversation  with  Baron  Humboldt.  See  Kayners 
"Life  of  Jefferson,"  p.  356  (Boston,  1834). 

The  very  essence  of  a  free  government  consists  in  considering  offices 
as  public  trusts,  bestowed  for  the  good  of  the  country,  and  not  for 
the  benefit  of  an  individual  or  a  party.—  John  C.  Calhoun:  Speech, 
July  13, 1835. 

The  phrase,  "  public  office  is  a  public  trust,"  has  of  late  become  com- 
mon property.  —  Charles  Sumner  (May  31, 1872). 

The  appointing  power  of  the  pope  is  treated  as  a  public  trust.  —  W.  W. 
Crapo  (1881). 

The  public  offices  are  a  public  trust.  —  Dorman  B.  Eaton  (1881). 

Public  office  is  a  public  trust.  —  Abram  S.  Hewitt  (1883).

Rowland  for  an  Oliver. 

These  were  two  of  the  most  famous  in  the  list  of  Charlemagne's  twelve 
peers  ;  and  their  exploits  are  rendered  so  ridiculously  and  equally 
extravagant  by  the  old  romancers,  that  from  thence  arose  that  saj'- 
ing  amongst  our  plain  and  sensible  ancestors  of  giving  one  a  "  Row- 
land for  his  Oliver,"  to  signify  the  matching  one  incredible  lie  with 
another.  —  Thomas  Warbukton. 


860  APPENDIX, 

sardonic  smile. 

The  island  of  Sardinia,  consisting  chiefly  of  marshes  and  mountains, 
has  from  the  earliest  period  to  the  present  been  cursed  with  a  noxious 
air,  an  ill-cuhivated  soil,  and  a  scanty  population.  The  convulsions 
produced  by  its  poisonous  plants  gave  rise  to  the  expression  of  sar- 
donic smile,  which  is  as  old  as  Homer  (Odyssey,  xx.  302) — Mahom: 
History  of  England,  vol.  i.  p.  287. 

The  explanation  given  by  Mahon  of  the  meaning  of  "  sardonic  smile  " 
is  to  be  sure  the  traditional  one,  and  was  believed  in  by  the  late 
classical  writers.  But  in  the  Homeric  passage  referred  to,  the  word 
is  "sardaniou  "  {ffaphaviov),  not  "sardonion."  There  is  no  evidence 
that  Sardinia  was  known  to  the  composers  of  what  we  call  Homer. 
It  looks  as  though  the  word  was  to  be  connected  with  the  verb  aaipco, 
"show  the  teeth;"  "grin  like  a  dog;"  hence  that  the  "sardonic 
smile"  was  a  "grim  laugh."  — M.  H.  Morgan.

Stone-wall  Jackson. 

This  saying  took  its  rise  from  the  battle  of  Bull  Run,  July  21, 1861. 
Said  General  Bernard  E.  Bee,  "  See,  there  is  Jackson,  standing  like 
a  stone-wall." 

The  King  is  dead  !     Long  live  the  King  ! 

The  death  of  Louis  XIV.  was  announced  by  the  captain  of  the  body- 
guard from  a  window  of  the  state  apartment.  Raising  his  truncheon 
above  his'  head,  he  broke  it  in  the  centre,  and  throwing  the  pieces 
among  the  crowd,  exclaimed  in  a  loud  voice,  "Le  Roi  est  mort  ! " 
Then  seizing  another  staff,  he  flourished  it  in  the  air  as  he  shouted, 
"  Vive  le  Roi !  "  —  Pardoe  :  Life  of  Louis  XIV.,  vol.  Hi.  p.  457. 

The  woods  are  full  of  them  ! 

Alexander  Wilson,  in  the  Preface  to  his  "American  Omithologj'" 
(1808),  quotes  these  words,  and  relates  the  story  of  a  boy  who  had 
been  gathering  flowers.  On  bringing  them  to  his  mother,  he  said  : 
"Look,  my  dear  ma!  What  beautiful  flowers  I  have  found  grow- 
ing in  our  place !    Why,  all  the  woods  are  full  of  them !  "

What  you  are  pleased  to  call  your  mind. 

A  solicitor,  after  hearing  Lord  Westbury's  opinion,  ventured  to  say 
that  he  had  turned  the  matter  over  in  his  mind,  and  thought  that 
something  niigiit  be  said  on  the  other  side  ;  to  which  he  replied, 
"Then,  sir,  you  will  turn  it  over  once  more  in  what  you  are  phased 
to  call  your  mind."  — Nash  :  Life  of  Lord  Westbury,  vol.  iu  292.
